Hi Chris, airbags may be an option. Suggest you also have a look at the LCOOL.ORG forum. There is a lot of information on all models of Landcruisers. Someone may already have made the upgrade you are looking at.

Hello Chris

I have a 95 4.5 petrol 80 series and still use original suspension.

I use a Hayman Reese tow ball / anti sway bars and they are absolute gold in towing our 21 ft Jayco (2+ tonne) and all have I done is adjust the tow ball configuration to ensure that the tug and van are level for towing. I do get some sag in the rear when we have too much junk in the boot but it still tows like a dream.

I would suggest you invest in an anti sway kit like mine 1st, then you can consider the need to modify the suspension later. I have considered airbags for the rear but they are expensive and not a necessity at the moment.

Let me know if / what you do if you modify the suspension, I'm keen to look at same when the time comes.

Cheers - Weg
